KANSAS Suscription $1.00 Per Annum LOVING CUP PRESENTED TO J. M. MARQUESS SCHOOL BOARD AND CITIZENS SHED TEARS WITH SUMNER'S EIGHT-YEAR PRINCIPAL. THE RETIRING PRINCIPAL IN A MASTERLY SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE, RETURNED THE COMPLIENT PAID HIM—THE GREAT AUDIENCE AND STUDENT BODY WIPED THEIR MOISTENED EYES AND APPLAUED AT THE SAME TIME. On Friday evening, May 26th inst. in the spacious auditorium of the Kansas City, Kansas High school the most touching tribute of appreciation an esteem was paid Prof. John M. Marquess, the retiring principal of Sumner High School by the citizens of our proud metropolis. Packed to its utmost to witness the commencement exercises of the largest graduating class in the career of Sumner, and the last under Prof. Marquess skillful management, the occasion was tuly adapted to, and fittingly selected for the demonstration of confidence and of high estimation of this brilliant scholar and educator, who in the eight years of living in our midst endeavored himself to the entire community, and proved himself worthy of the highest honors in the gift of the citizenship:—who during this same period as principal of Summer high school, brought it out of the unpromising unsavory connections of its origin to a position of respectibility and of fame in the educational systems of our city and community, and through whose supervision and government it has won a name and a place of honor among the institutions of learning in our state and in the nation, over two thousand of the citizens, mothers seriously interested in the welfare of their sons and daughters, father jealous of the sanctity of their childrens rights, opportunities and honor, patrons animated with pride in the race's endeavor and achievements were present to hear the farewell address of their prized educator and honored member of the race and to bid him God speed and continued success in his future work. Past Grand Master of Masons of Kansas, Mr. G. H. Milton Collins, in an eloquent and forceful address in behalf of the citizens of Kansas City. Kansas presented Mr. Marquess a large and beautifully engraved silver loving cup, with the names of the contributors to its purchase. But elegant and valuable as this gift was, it was only a small token of the regard in which Mr. Marquess is held here, it was only a gentle reminder to him that his years of service in our community will ever be cherished as years of usefulness, it was only an assurance to him that his goodnesses to Kansas City, Kansas, are indelibly inscribed on the memory of an appreciative public. The occasion will ever be remembered, for it gave renewed evidence of the unbounded confidence of the entire citizenship of Kansas City-Kansas in this man of the race, who with grace and dignity represented it, these last eight years in the social and civic life of the community, who with zeal and capability championed its cause in the councils of the high, who with fidelity and devotion served its interests towards the appraisal of the ideals of true manhood and womanhood, and of an elevated citizenship with its accorded rights and privileges. It was an evidence of regret at the loss of the services of this efficient and honorable man to our educational systems and civic life, yet an assurance that we do not begrudge his advancement and raise in life, but wish him even greater success, for every record among our race, is inspiration to its individual members. It was an augur that his fertile brain and larger soul will be equal to the increased responsibilities of his new field at Langston, and that like credit will be done our Brother of Oklahoma,by his measuring up his greater possibilities and higher honors, as he reflected while laboring on the free soil of Kansas. The unexpectedness of this outburst obviously affected Mr. Marquess, who in a masterly speech of acceptance returned the compliments paid him, and expressed his gratefulness for the friendships he has formed here, and the hearty co-operation received in his efforts of betterment and uplift. Vesper Service at Western University. Sunday, May 28th, marked the close of the Vesper service at Western university. A program has been given every Sunday at 4 o'clock sharp, lasting one hour. If one were passing and took out his watch he would observe a large number of students, people from the city and community, about five minutes to four, moving into the chapel, then at sixty minutes later he would see them moving away. Punctuality has been one of the main virtues fostered at this service. The service has been interesting from start to finish. Opening with song and prayer and then devoting ten minutes to general song in which everyone took an active part and this was followed by a special musical selection in the form of a solo or chorus under the direction of the music faculty, the address lasting twenty minutes and then closing the program with the Mizpeh, all together furnished a weekly treat the like of which one would have to travel for to find. The programs have been under the immediate direction of Prof. G. A. Gregg, appointed by the president of the university, Dr. H. T. Kealing Prof. G. A. Gregg has been director of the vesper service for three years, taking up the work immediately, a close of his term of two years as critic and president of the Kansas City, Kansas, Forum. He has brought to the vesper the very best men and women of all races available. He has always entertained the idea that nothing but the best was sufficient for the developing minds of the young people who had the good fortune to be students of Western University. He has searched the two cities and has discovered among the abundance of good material that they are not enough Sundays in the school year to go around—the supply is greater than the limit of time-thirty-six Sundays can accommodate. And yet to secure thirty-six men and women of ripe experience to bring a message from real life to boys and girls anxious to look into the future is a great accomplishment. It is a winter chautauqua in itself. It is a college lecture course. It is a vision of hostilities. One of the main things that the students miss when they return home is the vesper. Many of the community citizens have been regular in attendance and it has broadened their vision of life though they have lived sixty and seventy years already. The members of the faculty have waivered between staying on the campus or going to town to sonie program. They could not find a better program, their only desire was a little geographical relief from their accustomed place of labor. The vesper programs are not announced in detail in advance. The name "Vesper" alone, is sufficient assurance of a well spent hour. The closing day was as great as the opening and a golden mean was maintained throughout. It was fitting and proper at the closing vesper to give the students a vision of the real life about them wherever their lot may be cast. So Mr. Jacob Billikoff, president of the Jewish Educational Institute of Kansas City, Mo., delivered an address in a very effective and interesting manner on the working of the Welfare Board of Kansas City, Mo., and its helpful influence in Kansas City, Kansas. Pres. Billikoff is a very busy man. Prof. Gregg had been two years endeavoring to get him. Mr. Billikoff though belonging to one of the minority races, is by force of intellect directing and making effective plans for the majority. It is observations like these that bring inspiration to the wideawake boys and girls of Western University. The music for the day was provided by Miss Grant. As above inferred Prof. Jackson, Miss Douglas and Miss Grant vied with each other in making each musical number a rare treat. --- CITY And Independence KANSAS CITY, KA eir Commencement CITY ADVOCATE And Independent KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, JUNE 2, 1916. With the hearty co-operation of the music faculty the good men and women of the two cities and the always helpful encouragement of President Kealing Prof. Gregg was enabled to bring the vesper service of the school year 1915-1916 to a successful close.

Standing on the brink of the grave looking backward over the lapse of years to the little old fashioned cradle that nurtured as it rocked the existence of our deceased—we are constrained to pause, and exclaim, "Great and marvelous art thy works O! Lord." In the spring of 1824, or thereabout, as near as can be reliably ascertained the subject of our remarks, Mother Mary Alexander, was born in the village of Lexington, LaFayette county, Missouri. Here she grew into womanhood, marrying at the age of 15 to Mr. William Alexander, a young man of the neighborhood. From this happy union, there were born three children, Charlie, Melvenia and Jennie. By dint of industry and a united effort on the part of both, a little home was purchased and they settled down to a life of happiness, which under the baneful influence of human slavery was of short duration, for the husband and father was sold "down the river" to New Orleans. Being left alone with three small children she endeavored as only a mother can do, to rear them up—hoping and trusting in something she knew not what, that her husband might in some way be returned. Struggling on—she was informed of an effort being made to hire her eldest children to a master until they became of age. Accordingly she hastily disposed of her little home and with the funds, as the evening sun went down one day with the youngest in her arms, she bade her old home good bye, and embarked on a steamboat—down the river to the free state of Illinois. By a strange coincident or act of Providence in transferring from one boat to another, enroute to Cairo, Illinois, husband wife unconsciously met. He having ran away from his cruel Southern Master, found favor in the captain of a steamer and secured employment in his efforts to reach his loved ones in the old Missouri home. This was a happy meeting and it was agreed that Peoria. Illinois should be made their home. The wife to be joined by her husband at his earliest convenience. They lived in Peoria only a short while, then moved to Chicago, Illinois. In this city their home became a depot of the underground railway system. It was from this home in the hours of the night refugees would be pointed to the North Star as their guide and bid God speed in their flight to Canada, the land of freedom. It was in Chicago where our subject professed a hope in the Great Redeemer and joined the A. M. E. church under the pastorage of Rev. Weaver. The church is known now at Quinn's Chapel. It was in this city her only boy went to war and never returned. After a residence in this city of many years, in September, 1871, at the urgent request of old friends in the West they came to Kansas City Kansas, then Wyandotte, Kansas. Here they adapted themselves to the conditions and became prosperous citizens, joining the modest little frame, A. M. E. church in the woods at Seventh and Ann avenue, becoming active and arduous laborers in the vineyard. In March, 1891, her husband and companion of many years Bro. William Alexander was called from labor to rest. During her 45 years residence in this city, she was a family figure in many public gatherings, social functions and church affairs. She possesses one of those big, broad hearts, tempered with sympathy that passed not the beggar, nor the unfortunate, if she had only the widow's mite to give. As a mother and grandmother, she was devoted and kind to children and grandchildren alike, exercising the same mother care over four little orphans she reared into womanhood and manhood. The vacancy in the home can never be filled. She was the nucleus around which her little family clustered giving hope and inspiration to each individual. A tree that sheltered them from the storm. A bud that blossomed to its fullness. A matured rose. Though the petals have fallen and the withered stem Soon will be hidden beneath the earth. (Continued on Page 2.) BISHOP H. BLANTON PARKS WHO. WAS RETURNED TO THE FIFTH EPISCOPAL DISTRICT MASSACHUSETTS FIFTH EPISCOPAL A. M. E. MINISTERS SUCCEED IN HAVING BISHOP PARKS RETURNED FOR ANOTHER FOUR YEARS. The returning of Bishop H. Blanton Parks to the Fifth Episcopal district was no choice of his own, but the choice of every ministerial and lay delegate from the seven conferences of this district, and he was only returned through the untiring efforts of the representatives of this district, as there were seven other districts bidding for Bishop Parks' services, but by hard and honest work the Fifth district ministers' finally budd The Kansas Advocate, Kansas City, Mo., May 31, 1916. In regard to an article which appeared in the Kansas Elevator May 27th, 1916, headed, "Stay Away from Lincoln Electric Park," I make this reply: I have played before the crowned heads of foreign countries and have cressed the equator twice, have made America from north to south, and from east to west playing in all first class theaters in this country, have recently returned from Australia and New Zealand, where I played a special engagement under Hugo Bros. and think I am in a position to pass on any play house or park which have come under my observation, and will say in answer the article in the Elevator was entirely uncalled for. I am now playing at Lincoln Electric Park and have been since shortly after its opening May 6th, and can say without fear or favor that there is not a place in this country or any other that I have been in that is as finely equipped and run exclusively for colored people as this park is. I wish to say further that I heartily indorse this park to the colored race and believe that it is deserving of all the good respectable colored people, and they should be proud to live in a city in which a few white individuals would invest $40,000 or $50,000 for their exclusive pleasure. I cannot see why any person who has attended this park could have occasion to regret the dime or nickel that they might spend, without it be some narrow minded man who was prejudiced at the park owner for some reason or other. As to the present management of the park, from outside appearances, everybody employed in the park, and who has attended this season, seem to be perfectly satisfied, and I consider this article in the Elevator a slur to myself as well as the rest of the performers and employees of this park, who are all colored, and the manager tells me that he does not expect to employ anyone in this park except colored people. Hoping my friends and friends of my husband, the late Billy Kersands, now dead, who appeared before Queen their man returned that they knew and had done so much for the district and the people in it. Bishop Parks has brought the district up to a high standard and in another four years' administration the Fifth Episcopal district will stand second to none. He has a fine set of gospel ministers and their loyalty to him and the church is an omen of their love and faith they have in this great leader and churchman of the west. While the bishop was glad to get back with his friends, as has been said, he had nothing to say as to where he should be sent. A man of this caliber will have success, let it be in the islands of the sea. Victoria by special request under the management of Charles Frohman, and who had a reputation excelled by none and equalled by few, will take this article as it is written. CITIZENS' FORUM CLOSES FOR THE SUMMER. The Citizens' Forum, with Mrs. Willa Dwiggins, the president, presiding, enjoyed a very interesting program Sunday and adjourned for the summer. Mrs. Hammet of Kansas City, Mo., rendered two very excellent solos for the Forum, and the very hearty applause of the audience showed the great appreciation. The Forum expects to do more actual and effective work in the future than it has ever done in the past. There will be a civics, educational, boosters and welfare committees and much good is hoped to be accomplished. The U. B. F.'s and S. M. T.s had their annual sermon at the First Baptist church.' There were so many members they could not get in and thousands stood in the street. The men were well drilled and made a beautiful cross on Washington boulevard. Rev. Ransom preached the sermon at the church and the Quindaro band furnished delightful music. The funeral of the late Mrs. Mary Alexander was held from the A. M. E. church, Rev. Ransom officiating. She was an old faithful Christian and at one time was called the richest colored woman in town. She leaves a daughter and son and many relatives and friends who mourn her loss. Dr. H. T. Kealing, president of Western University, attended the inauguration of Tuskegee's new head, Major R. R. Moton, last week, at Tuskegee, Alabama. PROCLAMATION And Notice of Special Election.

The parties agree that in any proceedings to enforce such forfeiture, the court before which the cause is pending in the first instance or on appeal, upon finding from the evidence the existence of ground for such forfeiture, may also make a finding from the evidence whether or not the doing of such prohibited act or thing, or such failure, refusal or neglect was wilful and without just cause; and if it shall find that the doing of such prohibited act or thing, or such failure, refusal or neglect was wilful and without just cause, and that it was not the result of an honest mistake of law or of fact as to its duty in the premises, a final judgment or decree of forfeiture or an affirmance of such decree of the lower court, may be immediately rendered, declaring said rights forfeited. If, on the other hand, the court does not find, as aforesaid, from the evidence, that the doing of such prohibited act or such failure, refusal or neglect was wilful, and not the result of an honest mistake of law or of fact, as to the duty of the Terminal Company in the premises, or the result of an unavoidable accident, then the court may, in order that justice may be done to all parties, defer its judgment or decree of forfeture or the affirmance thereof, on such terms as may be just and reasonable, so as to give the Terminal Company a reasonable opportunity to do the thing required, or, in the case of the doing of a prohibited act or thing, to rectify the wrong done thereby; in which event, the court, whether of first instance or on appeal, may first enter its interlocutory order providing that a final judgment or decree of forfeture, or an affirmance thereof will be rendered unless the Terminal Company shall rectify said wrong and comply with the provisions of the ordinance in question within a reasonable time to be fixed in said order; and upon its further refusal or neglect so to do within the time specified, a final judgment or decree, or an affirmance of the decree of the lower court, shall be immediately rendered declaring said rights forfetured.

KENNEDY, Why Marines Wear Leggings. The stout leggings worn by members of the United States marine corps are not purely a decorative adjunct to their very natty uniforms, as popularly suposed by civilians, but are a protection for the men against tropical diseases while in foreign service, naval surgeons say. Many of the most dangerous tropical diseases are transmitted by the bites of insects. Among these are malaria, yellow fever, bubonic plague, hookworm, elephantiasis and tropical ulcer. Fleas and mosquitoes are the prime carriers and they make their first attack upon the ankles, thence working their way over the whole body. Happenings The funeral of the late Mrs. Mary Willis was held from the Metropolitan church Sunday at 2 o'clock. Rev. Holmes officiated. She was a consistent Christian citizen and dled in the triumph of faith. She leaves a husband, daughter and two sons. Mr. and Mrs. Day have removed to Quindaro where they will conduct business. Miss Willa Flemming left for the summer school at the State Normal in Emporia. Mrs. Jones who formerly lived at 912 Nebraska avenue, was in the city Decoration Day. She now lives at her own home in Quindaro. Mr. and Mrs. C. Williams at 1309, North Tenth, have built a bath room and are making their house strictly modern. Mr. Thomas, a mail clerk, is building a new 10-room modern house at Eleventh and Walker avenue. Mrs. Ned Jones who teaches in Missouri, is at home for the vacation. Her little girl is also with her. Mrs. Emma Williams-Brown, of Quindaro, was in the city and at Woodlawn cemetery Decoration Day. Mrs. Luvinia Thomas-Smith and Mrs. Otie Freeman-Miller, of Kansas City, Mo., were at Woodlawn cemetery attending to the graves of loved ones. Georgia Manley and her sister, of Kansas City, Mo., were over Decoration Day. Rev. Wayman Ward of Boulder, Colo., is in the city stopping at Mr. Early's on Grandview boulevard. Mrs. M. C. Matthews gave Mr. W. Robinson rent back and got his receipt for it, although he did not ask for it, thus defeating the (colored) lawyer who was trying to make her trouble when a white lawyer would not take it up.

The Sumner Steam Cleaners of 1708 North Third street are making great business strides in their line. This firm is keeping apace with the business and is equipped for getting out their work on the least possible notice. The latest piece of machinery installed in their plant was an automatic steam presser, which a cut of it is shown in this issue. This presser works in such a way that when the garments are under process of pressing that a pressure of hot steam penetrates the goods through and through thereby killing any germ that often secrets itself therein for its future victim and besides killing this venomous insect it removes all unsanitary infections and livens up the garment to a state of newness.

There is still another: class of objectors who are a degree more frank and honest than others. We give their position as follows: We give their position as follows. "It is simply a game and play for what can be had out of it, hence why should one be asked to play to those who have nothing, when, by bending the knee to those who have, something may be had." The proposition brings us to the point of real human interest. However, we are sure we can show our friends who think thus, the odds of Reason are greatly in favor of them acting in accordance with the Appeals heretofore made: rather than playing the game solely for the material benefit that may seem to be immediately in eight. For it is a verity that human nature is not growing better by reason of practice. I am prepared to admit that it is changing, to say the least; but the change is an increase of the sinister side of it and not an improvement. This change is because of the drift toward Mammon. That is to say a drifting towards the point where we recognize as our highest ideal. A Crown and Cross of Gold. Human welfare and happiness is no longer to goal—but Gold is the Goal. And for it the strife has become desperate, heartless, soulless, and without the consideration of the rights of others. The sweep and power of the love of gold has become to be so great that men are literally consumed by it, and that which formerly was known as the spiritual or moral side of their nature has become almost hopelessly dwarfed. The monopoly (the grabbing and boarding) of opportunity has grown to such proportions that now men are forced (as they seem to think) to put a price on much that in times past was held to be without price. Hence they seek to excuse many acts and deeds by what is spoken of: As the stress and pressure of the times Now then my Christian friend, if you will only stop and think seriously a moment, you will see that it is not you alone that has been carried out into this new order of things. But it is the whole regime, all—"Your other friends" have carried along with them; all those qualities that have been enumerated heretofore as being unfavorable to you. So that in this modern relation of soulless, heartless play, your position is doubly hazardous So that it behooves you to use the precaution that we have heretofore advised to all others. For you must admit that regardless of how strenuous the game becomes. There is one, and THE first distinction that is always made. Your NATIONALITY is first considered; and Americans have made that world wide. Hence, if you will think seriously and reason you must conclude that the only home that you alone will have Is in Honest, Soul to Soul Unity and Combination of Forces and Resources, to meet and withstand the awful avalanche that "Your other friends" are at all times launching against you. You are not alone in the new order, nor can you become separate from the common herd—you cannot rise by pushing another down, and you can not get very far by yourself. So, Come let us Reason together," You, alone with the Rest. Do not borrow your neighbor's paper—Take it. (See you again.) ,..Sugar Bowl..

Ave. GOLFER HAS PRIVATE TUTOR Topping Employs Noted Professional New York.—Henry J. Topping purposes to make a clean-up on the links this summer and to attain this end he has engaged Macdonald Smith, a noted golf professional, as his private tutor at a salary believed to be $2,500 a year. Mr. Topping won the Ardsley tournament, defeating some of the best golfers in this country. Mr. Topping, like many other golfers, has his careless spells. It was to cure these and to speed up his game a little more that he recently hit on the idea of hiring a private tutor. He selected Macdonald Smith, a young star who won the Metropolitan championship at Scarsdale in 1914 in a new world's record for 72 holes. Mr. Topping has for several years appeared well up in many of the lead- GOLF Henry J. Topping at the Finish of His Drive. ing golf meets. He first attracted attention from golfers when he defeated Chick Evans in a 19-hole match in the semifinal round for the North and South Championship at Pinehurst, N. C. In the spring of 1914 he accompanied Francis Ouimet, Jerry Travers, Chick Evans, Fred Herreshoff, Frasher Hale and Edward Knapp abroad for an invasion of the English links. Mr. Topping lasted longer in the British amateur championship than Travers, Ouimet, Hale and Knapp. "Hen" Topping, as he is familiarly called, married Miss Rhea Reid, only daughter of Daniel G. Reid, the Wall street magnate. The elder Mr. Topping, also a golf enthusiast, presented the Greenwich Country club with $15,000 to remake the fifteenth, a hole in the course he didn't like. Now the fifteenth is one of the best short holes in the country. FEW STEEL HELMETS USED Type Selected by British Government Condemned as Unsuitable In Service. London.—Although it is quite a long time since the war office became convinced that steel helmets are perhaps the most useful detail in a soldier's equipment and, notwithstanding the French reported as the result of their experiences in the Champagne battles that these headpieces made a reduction in the casualties of almost ten per cent, comparatively few are in use by the British forces. The delay is due, so it is said, to the number of types with which the British war office has been experimenting. The one fixed upon at the outset, which is still in use, has been condemned as unsuitable. It is too heavy and lacks the necessary leather lining of the French headgear, which is very servicable, and also very handsome. It is light blue, to match the men's uniforms. Every officer and soldier in the French army wears the steel headpiece. In the Verdun fighting General Petain is never seen without his helmet. The German military authorities have been even more dilatory in providing this kind of protection for their men than the British. It has been furnished in a few regiments, but the percentage of men using them is very small. LITTLE BOY SAVES HIS HOME South Dakota Lad Fights Fire and Climbs on Chair to Telephone for Help. Lead, S. D.—Nerve and pluck exhibited by the five-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Mitchell saved both himself and the family home from destruction by fire, although the child was nearly overcome when the firemen rescued him. The little fellow had been left alone with a playmate while his parents were out, and they commenced to play with matches. Soon the bed was afire and the flames spread. The other little boy ran out, but the Mitchell child fought the flames with small pails of water, in the meantime climbing on a chair to reach the telephone, by which he notified the fire department. Chemicals quickly extinguished the blaze. Starve the Fly. Paterson, N. J.—Starving has been added to swatting in the anti-fly campaign here.

THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE ARMORED CARS IN THRILLING DASH Rescue Men of the Wrecked Ship Tara in Desert Prison Camp. FEAT STANDS AS A CLASSIC Duke of Westminster Heads Train of Motors in Dash of Over 100 Miles Throbbing Fleet Causes Sensation in the Desert By W. T. MASSEY. Suez, Egypt.—I have just heard the details of the armored car fleet's dash to the rescue of the men of the wrecked ship Tara. It will stand as a classic in motoring annals. When General Lurkin reoccupied Sollum in western Egypt he found that the Arabs had burned the camp. Ten armored cars came upon a remarkable road which, starting in the desert, runs to Tobrunk, 90 miles away in Tripoli. Over it the motors had a speed of 35 miles an hour. At Aziza, the cars suddenly came upon the Arabs and dashed into a Turkish mountain gun and two machine guns, killing every gunner by Maxim fire. Then, without a halt, they charged in line over the bowlers, stiff scrub, sandy patches. The charge continued for seven miles. Three field guns, nine machine guns, hundreds of rifles, spare parts, dynamite, traveling workshops and a quarter of a million rounds of rifle ammunition were captured. Some of the camels, hit by machine-gun fire, blew to pieces as if struck by a high explosive, or burst into flames. It was found that the Arabs had loaded them with bombs and petrol. The duke of Westminster was informed that a letter had been picked up from Capt. Gwatkin Williams to Nuri Day, complaining that the Tara prisoners were starving and ill and suggesting that medical comforts should be procured at Sollum. The letter mentioned Bir Hakim as the place of the prisoners' detention. Every prisoner and refugee was interrogated, but none knew Bir Hakim except a man who said he had fed a flock there 30 years ago. Subsequently another man, who had been the prisoners' guard, was discovered, and the duke asked permission to attempt a rescue. Every man in the batteries sat up all night and next day tuning up the machines. The batteries were re-enforced by light cars carrying the guns and all the motor ambulances within traveling range of Sollum were brought in. * There were gathered at the old Turkish fort on the ridge above Sollum nine armored Rolls-Royce cars, five touring cars with guns, light cars—forty-two motors altogether. At three o'clock in the morning the column moved out of the fort. When the column got 80 miles on the Tobrunk road the cars turned on the desert due south. After 15 miles rough-and-tumble over desperately rough ground the party began to feel uncertain of success. The two Arab guides were arguing as to whether they were on the right track; the man who had not seen Bir Hakim since his boyhood thought they were wrong. The other Arab would not say much. The desert was now very stony. A hundred miles went by and then 105. Still there was not the faintest sign of the Tara prisoners' camp. Between 110 and 115 miles nobody spoke, and the silenco suggested fears of failure. A mile farther on the Arab became animated on seeing a sort of small mountain. A halt was called at two o'clock and the duke sent forward the armored cars to attack. They raced up to within 200 yards of the mound. The prisoners were standing silhouetted against the skyline; dumb with amazement at the appearances of the strange throbbing men. At last one threw off the sack covering him and faintly cheered, and the crowd staggered forward in the rolling gait of starved men and swarmed round the cars, crying: "Are we free?" They could not be persuaded to leave the cars and slightly hindered the British advance, to lackle the guards, all of whom were subsequently killed. The remainder of the column started a tremendous race to the spot. They ran abroad, caring not for obstacles or punctures, and the air was filled with the cheers of the crews and the noise the exhausts. The prisoners' condition was desperate. A heap of white shells showed that snails had been their staple diet. Occasionally they had had goat flesh, but the amount served out was reduced to the size of a skinned mouse, one prisoner said. Parties had gone out daily to find edible roots. Mayor Advocates More Kissing. Harrisburg, Pa.—Mayor E. Z. Meals, who recently sanctioned "spooning" in the parks of the city, declared young men and women should do more kissing. "It would mean more marriages and more homes; husbands and wives should kiss whenever possible; it would mean fewer divorces." The mayor, who is a physician, advised the girls that it was folly to refrain from kissing because of germs, and that kissing sent few people to the hospitals. Commodore Benedict Plans, "Sanctuary for Feathered Tribe on Connecticut Estate. Greenwich, Conn.—Plans for converting his beautiful estate of more than 100 acres into a model "bird sanctuary," have been made by Commodore E. C. Benedict, who at the age of eighty-two attributes his good health to his love of the great outdoors and its wild creatures. The first step in the creation of the "sanctuary" will be to drive out the English sparrows, the "gangsters" of the bird world, and the hundreds of crows which have been attracted by the food to be found on the estate at low tide. Nesting boxes will be provided for such birds as will use them, from the smallest for the house wren to the largest box for the wood ducks. The big fresh water lake on the estate will be made attractive to ducks by planting suitable food, with the hope that now and again mated pairs will remain to nest. Of the many big estates in Greenwich, that of Commodore Benedict offers the greatest natural advantages for scientific conservation work and prominent Audubon workers are co-operating with the commodore in carrying out the plans for the project. One of the scientific advantages to be gained by carrying out this plan, it is pointed out, is that the birds will rid the beautiful gardens of the estate of their insect enemies. The unusual interest in birds in Greenwich and vicinity is due in large measure to the fact that the Greenwich (Conn.) Press has a bird conservation editor and publishes bird stories and notes in each issue. It is probably the only weekly paper in the United States that prints a regular feature of this kind. TAX ON MATCHES NOT NEW English Chancellor of the Exchequer Borrowed Idea From United States in 1871. London.—This is not the first time that a chancellor of the Exchequer has tried to raise money from the taxation of matches. The proposal was put forward by Robert Lowe (afterward Lord Sherbrooke) in 1871. He suggested a halfpenny stamp on boxes of 100 wooden matches or less and a penny on boxes of 100 wax matches, or fuses, because they were "more aristocratic." He estimated that the tax would yield for the first year £550,000 ($2,750,000). The idea was borrowed from America, which at that time made £400,000 ($2,000,000) a year from the tax. Mr. Lowe's reason for suggesting it was that the "cost of matches was so inappreciable that they were wasted in a most reckless and dangerous way." He suggested as the motto for the new stamp "Ex luce lucellum" (out of light a little profit), and he thought this more appropriate than the usual rather watery device of a "Noah's Ark." The match tax was regarded in 1871 as a frivolous measure, although it was at first favored by parliament. A procession of tattered matchmakers to Westminster to protest against it gave the coup de grace to the measure, but not before trial proofs of the duty stamp printed in a pale blue, and now become very rare, had been prepared. The stamps were to be so pasted on so as to be broken by the opening of the match box. WARRING ON LAZY HUSBANDS Charities Organization Forcing Habitual Loafers to Work or Serve Terms on Penal Farm. Martinsville, Ind.—The executive committee of the Associated Charities is making war on lazy husbands. John Gourley has been fined $10 and sent to the penal farm for 30 days under the lazy husband law. Charity will be given his family while he is away. Charles Kenworthy, when before Judge Whitaker, charged with being a lazy husband, was permitted to go on his pledge to obtain work. He has left the city. James Padgett, when charged with failing to support his family, promised to leave town if permitted to go. The opportunity was given him. The charity association is willing to give assistance to all families in need of help, but it is not willing to encourage laziness of husbands. LEGACY FOUND HIM IN JAIL Danish Consul Placed Nelson by Reading in a Newspaper of His Arrest. Warren, Pa.—Ten months ago Martin Nelson was so hard up that he didn't care how he got money. Shortly afterward he was convicted of obtaining it under false pretenses and was sent to jail for six months. The publicity caused by his arrest led to his discovery by friends who had good news for him. Nelson got out of jail and is off to his old home in Denmark to claim a legacy of $6,000. Had he never been sent to jail probably he never would have heard of the legacy. So at least the Danish consul declared. He said that he had been seeking Nelson for five years. The newspaper clipping telling of Nelson's arrest and imprisonment in the Warren county fall was the first trace he got of him. LINCOLNPARK NEW-ATTRACTIONS.
